Rooms are a bit dated. I booked a twin room which ended up a family room. One small double bed and a couch bed. Not ideal. The toilet pan was badly stained. Looked unclean, but I tried to clean it myself, it was definitely stained.Breakfast was decent, but service very slow. It was busy though.Happy to stay again for a short stay but rooms definitely not what you see in the adverts.

We travelled to attend a family wedding & chosen his hotel because it was close to the venue.||We have stayed in several Premier Inns & this also lived up to expectations. Plenty of space in the rooms,very comfortable & quiet.  …

I booked a Premier Plus room. It was recently Refurbished and nice! The Air Conditioner worked well!!We booked a meal deal package. Dinner; the food was Tasty!!Breakfast was Utterly Disappointing and HORRIBLE!! It's make to order, hence takes a considerable amount of time, Especially if you are in a Hurry to Participate in a Trackday at Goodwood, like I was!Skipped Breakfast to have a Lie-in on Second day. I find it Stupid that you need to ask about Late Check-out first thing in the morning!! Which means that you cannot have a Lie-in!!

Noisy hotel - kept awake most nights.Paid extra for "ultimate" internet that was supposed to be x8 faster and couldn't even send an email with out it constantly dropping out - couldn't even load the speedtest website when I got frustrated with it...Poor quality breakfast with most juices empty and all baked goods running low / empty.Would definitely go elsewhere in future.Note - We've stayed in lots of Premier Inns, so don't have an issue with the brand, but this location is to be avoided.

Not the easiest to find but got there eventually. I had a plus room which had a very comfortable armchair with good lighting, plus a fridge. Shower good, bed fine.|A continental breakfast was extra but worth it. Nothing more to say but need ten more characters!

Hotel nice and clean and the room was just what we needed with a few added touches that made it more comfortable. The location is a bit too central and the parking immediately outside the hotel too Limited. Saturday night outside the hotel was very lively and a bit too noisy for my liking

If you are looking for an easy and clean place to stay for a couple of nights look no further! Rooms are clean and well stoked with necessities and the staff is super friendly and helpful! Shout out to Daisy at the front desk who was very kind and helpful while checking me in, she made me feel comfortable and explained how everything worked to me as I had never stayed in a premier inn and was unsure how room keys and other things such as food worked here.As a note, I got a room with a KFC view, I found this quite hysterical.
